How I Spent the Week end

People spend their days off in different ways. Some of them prefer to stay in town and to visit an art exhibition, a museum or a sports event. In the evening as a rule they visit a theatre or go to see their friends. Other people prefer to spend their days off out of town. As for me I also prefer to spend them in the country. Sometimes I take part in sports events, which usually take place during the week ends. Two weeks ago I took part in the skiing competition of our Institute.

Last Saturday I went to see my sister. This is how I spent the week end.
